Evaluate \(f_x(x, y)\) and \(f_y(x, y)\) at the indicated point.
\[f(x,y) = x^3 − 3x + y^2 − 6y\ at\ (−1,3)\]
\[f_x(x,y) = 3x^2 − 3\] \[f_x(-1,3) = 3(-1)^2 − 3\]
\[f_x(-1,3) = 0\]
\[f_y(x,y) = 2y − 6\]
\[f_y(-1,3) = 2(3) − 6\] \[f_y(-1,3) = 0\]
f_ <- expression(x**3 - 3*x + y**2 - 6*y)
x <- -1
y <- 3
f_x <- D(f_, "x")

## 3 * x^2 - 3
f_y <- D(f_, "y")
f_y
## 2 * y - 6
eval(f_x)
## [1] 0
eval(f_y)
